Chichen Itza and Merida - We have been travelling on First Class Air con buses whilst in Mexico and had a few hours from Cancun to Chichen Itza ruins. The Mayan ruins really are amazing to see and our guide was fantastic. We learnt lots about the Mayan beliefs and traditions, much of which sounded like torture. It was a really long day as we got back on the bus for another 2 and a half hour journey to Merida. Merida was a really vibrant place where i first got a ...
